I received an email from Sportswear Unlimited today and it caught my eye that they were possibly using the "SU" in the LSU logo. Am I seeing clearly?

Yep.

That font is proprietary to LSU.

LSU about to get paid. They have a trademark for the font.

No the U is the wrong way on the startup.

Yeah...it's the Geux Font flipped. Email Ward Wyatt at LSU Sports Properties and let him know...they'll shite that down with the quickness.

Does this bother you that much? I can think of many more things to have rustled jimmies about. This is definitely not one of them. JMO

Look up the peppermint font. That's the font they used. It's very similar to the Geaux font but not quite.

probably not an issue ... especially since they are not a school and in competition.
Also, the "U" is not the same....just a similar font

That is the SL Panzerkardinal font. It has been around since way before the geaux font. I would use it before I acquired the geaux font to make LSU logos by flipping the U.
